First it was Pier Dweller, now me. Loving this new shimano TR (charter special or w/e) as a heavy duty baitcaster. Wasn't really expecting alot out of it casting wise, but decided to walk out in the backyard and give it a few practice casts. 25lb ande off another old reel, 6oz lead and my 12' and hit 103 and 110yd respectively and those were my 3rd and 4th casts just trial and error on my reel brake. Can't wait to spool this guy up with 15-17lb line and see what's next. BIG thumbs up for this one if your looking for a levelwind thats heavy duty, 20lbs drag but still small enough to cast with. I've read reports of guys not liking this reel because it's not "castable", I think I can cast this just as comfortably as my abu or maybe I just had a good day
For a levelwind I think we are going to make a fantastic couple
